Health Coaching

one-on-one

What is health coaching?

I like to compare health coaches to personal trainers. You already know you need to exercise to lose weight and be healthy, but when it comes time to go to the gym you might not know what to do or where to start. So you start by working with a personal trainer. I will do the same thing for you but about nutrition. You want to lose weight, you want to improve your health, but you don't know HOW. I am here to be your teacher, your guide, your motivator, and your accountability partner.

What is the difference between a nutritionist and a health coach?

When you see a nutritionist, you talk to them about what health goals, and they create an eating plan for you. You often leave their office with instruction on what to do and you might never see them again. It is up to you to follow those guidelines if you want to see result. For some people this system works great; however, for many others they need a bit more.

That's where I come in. I am not just telling you what to eat. I am teaching you how to transform your health. Growing up you learned everything from math to science, but you were never taught how to stay healthy. My program guides you through a health course like structure. By the end of the program, my goal is for you to have all the tools to continue taking your health to the next level. It will be fun and empowering.

How do I know if this is for me?

You will benefit from my health coaching program if:

You want to improve your health but you don't know where to start

You have tried diets before but they never worked

You feel defeated around food

Food is controlling you instead of the other way around

You want to transition into a plant-based diet

You want an accountability partner

How does the program work?

This is an one-on-one 5 months health coaching program. We will start with your initial health history consultation, which is a free session I offer my potential clients before they sign up. Once we are all set to start, we will meet twice a month for a total of 10 sessions. Our sessions are 1 hour long (see sessions outline below). All session are done through phone/Skype/FaceTime; however, clients living in Miami have the option for in-person sessions.

You will leave each session with brand new knowledge from that day's session, plus recommendations for you to try out and put into practice until our next session. After each session, you will receive a "session recap" email from me, plus 24/7 email support throughout your program. During our sessions, I will empower your growth and transformation with handouts, books, audiobooks, documentary and movies recommendations, food samples, to name a few.

Program summary

To keep in mind: I find it extremely important to make each program unique to the client. This is the main outline of the program; however, it will be tailored to meet your unique health needs to help you reach your specific goals!

"Bia was able tp help me in so many ways. The biggest tangible change I have noticed since beginning the program has been my weight and quality of sleep, and the most significant overall change has been my happiness level! I would describe Bia as an attentive, kind, and compassionate teacher. She is a great listener and never made me feel bad for my previous unhealthy choices. Her approach on health and natural medicine is a breath of fresh air. I would recommend Beatriz to anyone who is struggling with diet and exercise. She will teach you the anti-diet way to health. I used to think I can get healthy on my own but I always procrastinated and waisted hours trying to figure it out. Once I found Bia everything changed. Having someone to hold you accountable fast tracks your results instantly."

"My top goals upon starting the program were to address my kidney problems (they constantly felt heavy and painful), the burning sensation in my urine and my urinary infections, and my poor blood circulation due to my diabetes. I am only half way through the program and I can’t believe my kidney pains are gone, my blood circulation has improved, and my digestive system flows much better. Bia even created a travel kit for me to travel with to keep me feeling healthy and pain free. She is an attentive, competent, capable, and dedicated professional. She is thoughtful but firm. Bia has a lot of information I did not know about. I would recommend Bia to anyone that wants a healthy lifestyle. You need to work with Bia even if you don’t have a health problem to solve. I am very happy working with her."
